As time flies, the orcs of the Winged Tiger Tribe gradually adapt to and integrate into the life of this strange and novel city. Not only do they have their own warm and comfortable homes, but their daily lives have also become more beautiful and fulfilling.

Cheng Mo often returns to the place where he used to live to reminisce. Whenever this happens, he always walks side by side with Banmu on the familiar old road, reminiscing about the experiences of the past years. Today, Banmu's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and many orcs even subconsciously avoid him. Because of this, Banmu no longer participates in the hunting team's actions in the city, but if Cheng Mo craves for certain food, Banmu will still go out alone to look for it without hesitation.

Facing these changes in Banmu, Cheng Mo was not too surprised or uncomfortable. In his heart, no matter how Banmu changed, he would always be the trustworthy and consistent big cat. On the contrary, Banmu himself was very happy to accompany Cheng Mo at all times. However, sometimes he would secretly send Cheng Lingqu to Xiong Bo to prevent the child from disturbing their rare time alone. (Cheng Lingqu: So, I am not a biological child, so I should suffer this?)

In the hot summer, the scorching sun seemed to burn the earth. Cheng Mo sat leisurely under the shade of the tree, leaning on Ban Mu's broad shoulders, staring at the barren vegetable garden in front of him. The fertile soil in the past was now covered by lush weeds, but the soil that was once planted had long been integrated with the land, making the vegetation here extremely lush.

The sound of cicadas resounded through the sky, one after another, interweaving into a noisy symphony, bringing vitality to this silent land. Cheng Mo held a green blade in his hand, concentrating on weaving something, while Ban Mu beside him considerately used his body to block the scorching sun shining directly down, silently guarding him.

Neither of them broke the silence, but quietly immersed themselves in the good times together. Suddenly, Cheng Mo shouted excitedly: "Look! I made a little grasshopper!" Then, he carefully placed the carefully woven grasshopper in front of Ban Mu.

Banmu slowly opened his eyes and saw a small and exquisite grasshopper jumping happily in Cheng Mo's hand. He raised his lips slightly and exclaimed softly: "How cute!" In fact, there was another sentence in his heart that he didn't say out loud - "Just like you." Of course, he didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence in person, otherwise Cheng Mo would definitely solemnly refute that he was not cute, but handsome!

In Ban Mu's eyes, Cheng Mo is cute no matter what she does. This is probably what it means when a lover sees beauty in everything!

Cheng Mo was like a child, fiddling with the grasshopper in his hands, a smile on his face, and humming along to the grasshopper. Ban Mu, who was standing beside him, was watching him with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

At this moment, a small insect fell from the sky and headed straight for Cheng Mo. However, before it could touch Cheng Mo's body, Ban Mu stretched out his hand at lightning speed and caught the small insect steadily. Just as Ban Mu was about to throw away the annoying little insect, Cheng Mo happened to catch a glimpse of the little guy in his hand.

The chubby little bug was rolling around in Banmu's palm, biting a leaf with its small mouth, refusing to let go. Seeing this, Cheng Mo hurriedly grabbed Banmu's hand and shouted excitedly, "Wait! Banmu, let me see!"

Facing Cheng Mo's request, Ban Mu shook his head helplessly, then carefully placed the small insect in his palm in front of Cheng Mo's eyes, and reminded: "Xiao Mo, don't get too close, be careful not to dirty your clothes!" Cheng Mo nodded, but his eyes never left the cute little insect.

He first gently touched the insect with the grasshopper in his hand, and the originally quiet insect suddenly became restless and struggled desperately. Cheng Mo observed the insect's reaction with interest, and then gently removed the leaf stuck in the insect's mouth. Looking closely, isn't this the familiar silkworm?

Cheng Mo looked up excitedly. When he saw the tree in front of him, he was overjoyed. It turned out to be a mulberry tree! The dense mulberry leaves swayed gently in the breeze, as if waving to them.

Cheng Mo happily handed the grasshopper in his hand to Ban Mu, and then began to climb the mulberry tree impatiently. Before Ban Mu could say anything, Cheng Mo quickly climbed to the top of the tree like a flexible monkey. Ban Mu, who was standing under the tree, was extremely anxious and shouted loudly: "Xiao Mo!"

Cheng Mo hugged the thick tree trunk tightly with both hands, looked down at Ban Mu who was standing worriedly under the tree, and showed an extremely bright smile on his face: "Ban Mu, don't worry! I'm an expert in climbing trees!" Before he finished speaking, he once again ignored Ban Mu's dissuasion and struggled to climb up for another distance.

Cheng Mo carefully put his cheek close to the mulberry leaves and observed them carefully. He saw several chubby silkworms lying on the emerald green leaves, gnawing on the mulberry leaves desperately. Their snow-white bodies blended into the mulberry leaves, and it was difficult to even find their existence if you didn't look carefully. Cheng Mo was very excited and shouted happily to Banmu under the tree: "Banmu! Look, the tree is full of silkworms! There are so many!" Banmu stood under the tree, opened his arms worriedly, and responded: "Okay, I see, Xiaomo, come down quickly, I will catch you!"

Cheng Mo nodded, took a look at the silkworms lying on the mulberry leaves, and then let go of her hand without hesitation. Banmu under the tree quickly jumped up and caught Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo said happily in Banmu's arms: "Banmu! Quick! Tell the high priest to arrange a few people to take the silkworms home!"

Ban Mu put Cheng Mo down, pressed his shoulders and looked him up and down. After making sure that he had no injuries, he taught him earnestly: "Xiao Mo! Don't do this next time! What if you fall down?"

Seeing Banmu's serious expression, Cheng Mo nodded humbly and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, but I know Banmu, you will definitely catch me!"

Seeing Ban Mu's disapproving look, Cheng Mo threw himself into Ban Mu's arms, tilted his head back, kissed Ban Mu's face twice without any restraint and said, "I was wrong! Don't worry! I won't dare to do it again next time! Really! I swear!" As he said that, he stretched out four fingers to the sky and swore.

Banmu sighed helplessly. What could he do? He had spoiled her like that! He couldn't hit her or scold her!

Upon hearing that the city lord wanted to raise new animals, all the free orcs in the city came running to help.

Because the silkworms are small and fragile, they can be accidentally injured if not handled with care, so the orcs carefully pinch their orchid fingers and pick them off the mulberry leaves gently and slowly.

Xiongwu, who usually went out with the hunting team, happened to be on his day off today, so he came over to help. Looking at the white or grayish insects that kept wriggling in his hands, Xiongwu felt a chill all over his body and his hair stood on end. With a look of disgust on his face, he gently placed the silkworm on the animal skin and immediately ran to the river to wash his hands.

"Hahaha! Fierce Crow, how come you are not even as good as a little cub! Look at you! Not tough at all!" Seeing this, an orc acquaintance immediately laughed loudly and unscrupulously.

Hearing this, the fierce crow was furious. He scooped up some river water and splashed it at the orc. He said angrily, "Shut up! If you have the guts, go and catch him! Why are you standing so far away? Go ahead!"

The orc was suddenly speechless. Although he was not afraid of these silkworms, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he saw so many of them twisting their bodies freely among the leaves.

"Go away! If you don't have anything to work, don't hang around here and just cause trouble!" Accompanied by a scolding, a female walked over quickly and pushed the orc in front of her away with disgust on her face.

However, the orc was not angry. Instead, he quickly put on a flattering smile, approached and said, "Zhizhi, are you tired? Why don't you sit down and rest for a while? Look, I brought you some fresh fruit. Come, how about we take a rest together?"

Facing the orc's hospitality, Zhizhi was not grateful at all. He pushed away the orc's face that was about to get close to his face and said unhappily: "Stop talking nonsense! Stay away from me! Why are you following me all the time? Stay away!"

Despite the cold reception, the orc still smiled brightly and promised: "Okay! All up to you!"

At this time, the fierce crow beside him saw this and followed suit, also imitating the orcs' accent and echoing in a weird voice: "Okay~"

Hearing this, the beastman was furious, but he couldn't get angry directly, so he could only glare at the fierce crow, and then said with a little sympathy: "Look at you, huh! At least I have a partner to accompany me, unlike you, who is all alone, just a pitiful single dog!"

Hearing this, Xiongwu was immediately furious and angrily retorted: "Nonsense! I am a Moon Wolf orc, I have nothing to do with a dog!"

The orc ignored him completely, just staring at Zhizhi's back as he walked away, and responded absentmindedly: "Okay, okay! Whatever you say is what it is." Seeing the other party's attitude, Xiongwu was so angry that he rolled his eyes and turned away without looking back.

The silkworms and mulberry leaves from the tree were carefully packed and brought back. Cheng Mo happily dragged Banmu, who was much taller than him, and hurriedly made an oversized wooden box. The wooden box was very spacious, but not too high, and there were many carefully designed compartments inside. Then, they poured the mulberry leaves and cute silkworms that they had worked so hard to collect into this special wooden box.

Cheng Mo carefully sprinkled some clean water into the wooden box to ensure that the silkworms had a sufficiently moist environment, and then gently placed the wooden box in an empty room. A group of innocent little cubs were immediately attracted and lay on the edge of the wooden box, watching the silkworms in the wooden box chewing mulberry leaves with relish.

Cheng Mo gently patted the furry head of one of the cubs. The soft touch made him pat it a few more times. He smiled and asked, "Are your classes finished today?"

As the school in the city has not been fully built, the class is currently being held at Cheng Mo's home, with Cheng Lingqu in charge of teaching. The cubs first shouted in unison with their tender and clear voices: "Hello, City Lord!" Then they answered Cheng Mo's question obediently: "It's break time now, the teacher let us play freely first."

Cheng Mo nodded in understanding. This group of little cubs were the orc cubs that joined later. Their learning progress was slower, so they stayed in the city to study during the day and did not need to follow the adults out to collect.

"Lord City Lord, what are these for?" A little female asked in confusion, pointing at the silkworms in the box.

Cheng Mo stared intently at the silkworms happily chewing mulberry leaves in the box, and introduced softly: "These little guys are called silkworms. When they grow up slowly, they will start to spin silk, and the silk is very useful. It can be used to make all kinds of beautiful clothes."

The little female blinked her big eyes full of curiosity, looking at the tiny and exquisite silkworms in confusion, and muttered to herself: How much silk thread can such a tiny silkworm spit out to make clothes?

Cheng Mo didn't seem to want to explain too much. He squatted down, smiled gently, and then began to test their learning results. This sudden test scared the little cubs. They were all in tears and couldn't help but lament in their hearts: Why does even the city lord have to test them?

Finally, it was time for class. The cubs breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved goodbye to Cheng Mo impatiently. Cheng Mo slowly stood up and watched the cubs who hurried out the door or even transformed into beasts go away, with a hint of confusion on his face. He couldn't help but turn around and ask Ban Mu beside him: "Do I look scary?"

At this moment, Banmu, who was standing behind Cheng Mo, had eyes full of affection and doting. Banmu looked at Cheng Mo through a dozen layers of thick filters. He looked at Cheng Mo with extremely gentle eyes and replied softly, "Of course not, you are very cute!"

Hearing this, Cheng Mo's cheeks instantly flushed with shyness. He quickly looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he turned around and gently kissed Ban Mu's face, teasingly saying, "My beauty, you have such a sweet mouth, let me kiss you!"

Ban Mu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a doting smile, and his eyes gently watched Cheng Mo's childish behavior. Although Cheng Mo was actually older, I don't know if it was because of Ban Mu's endless doting over the years, when no one was around, he always liked to pull Ban Mu to do things that were inconsistent with his usual behavior.

Banmu was filled with joy at Cheng Mo's expense. He was happy to see Cheng Mo rely on him so much, and always had a tacit understanding with him, always cooperating with Cheng Mo's every move.
